Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 February 2018
133. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of times his Department has refused to appear in front of committee of the Houses of the Oireachtas on particular topics in each of the past three years and in 2018; the reason for each refusal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6659/18]
View answerIn response to the Deputy’s question, I can confirm that my Department has always been in compliance with such requests in relation to matters under the remit of my Department. When specific issues are tabled for discussion by a Committee of the Houses of the Oireachtas and the request is more appropriate to another Department that has statutory responsibility in relation to the request, the matter is referred to that Department.
